The show kicks off this week congratulating Suzanne Brockmann, who accepted her Romance Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award with a powerful speech.
Missy is congratulated as the winner of the free Coastal Magic Convention registration that we gave away back in episode 144.
Jeff gives a shoutout to marInspired for their amazing dance this past week on World of Dance. The guys also discuss the documentaries Making Fun: The Story of Funko and Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story.
Will reviews The Veranda, the third in Rosalind Abel’s Lavender Shores series. Jeff reviews Imperial Stout, the first book in Lalya Reyne’s new Trouble Brewing series.
Layla then talks with Jeff about her new series, as well as the Agents Irish & Whiskey series, how she got her start and what’s still to come. She’s also giving away a mass market paperback copy of Imperial Stout and a $25 Amazon gift card to one lucky listener who sends an email to giveaway@biggayfictionpodcast with the word “Trouble” in the subject line (more details on the giveaway are at the bottom of the shownotes page).
